************************* |
NESBA was established to engender and maintain
enthusiastic interest in the various phases of music, colorguard, percussion ensembles and
music education in our secondary schools. NESBA’s primary thrust is
to provide an atmosphere in which education and musicality are of the utmost importance. Therefore, the core philosophy of NESBA
is to provide exceptional performance opportunities for high school students, using
marching band activity and competitive performances as a tool in effective music
education.
It is the intent of NESBA to encourage a spirit
of cooperation, dialogue, and sportsmanship amongst Directors, instructors, performers,
and support groups. We feel that acceptance
of this philosophy will insure that our activities function at the highest level of
professional and educational standards.
The purposes of NESBA may be further defined as follows:
- To promote the performance standards and levels of all performing
groups;
- To strive for excellence in the musical, visual, and performing
arts;
- To stimulate interest, appreciation and understanding of all types
of programs;
- To promote pride, enthusiasm and camaraderie amongst all
individuals involved in the competitive arena;
- To assist members at all levels of experience to identify areas of
mutual concern;
- To provide scholarship assistance to all worthy students;
- To encourage the development of a spirit of friendship and
cooperation amongst all participants.
